## NameCheap (namecheap.com)##daemon=300protocol=namecheapserver=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.comlogin=ABC (username I login with at namecheap.com)password=XYZ (the password that the Namecheap.com Dynamic DNS gave me)news.adashw.com

I then ran the perl script in Terminal using "/usr/sbin/ddclient -daemon 300 -syslog"

Although it's still not updating the DNS. I keep checking All Host Records on my Namecheap domain.

Any suggestions on A) How to get this ddclient to work or B) Another Mac OS X compatible client that will work?

That is awesome! About when do you think it will be compatible? And how exactly will it work with DynDNS Updater client? Will you login with your Namecheap account, I'm confused because currently it only DynDNS Updater client for Mac OS X only works with DynDNS.com. Can I request that you make it so the user can tell it how often to send the ip update? Otherwise, for me, it won't work behind a network. It will however it the update interval is fairly frequent.

I just restarted my system. Ran "/usr/sbin/ddclient daemon 300 -syslog" and just "ddclient" both responded with no errors.

In order to get it working I went into my All Host Records and changed my sub-domain's IP to my server running ddclient web IP (what the browser says is the web IP even though eth0 is an internal 172.16.x.x IP).

It worked, however this is not dynamic DNS working. This is me manually entering in the IP address. So if my computer's web IP were to change, cepheus.adashw.com would no longer dynamically route to my computer.

So the question still remains, how can I get ddclient to update my computers web IP into my sub-domain's Host IP Record?

It should be possible to use the protocol within next few months. The client will work in the same way it does now and you will be able to activate the service for the domain in the same way as it can be done now.

Regarding the issue with the Ip address not being updated under the account for cepheus.adashw.com subdomain it is advisable to check the work of the client itself from your side, you can also try to contact us via ticket system here: https://support.namecheap.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit for us to investigate in case there is some issue from our side.

When I download this client, it asks me to provide a username and password. I enter my domain name registered at namecheap, and the ridiculously long password (tried both typing it in and pasting it in), and it comes back to tell me it's invalid.

Is there another configuration file with Dyn's updater that I should change to point to namecheap?

I really need some help getting this going and have spent hours messing around and somewhat regretting my purchase decision here.

Do you know if you have successfully updated your Dynamic DNS to work with Dyn? I have a Cisco RVS4000 router that supports DynDNS setups that I'm using with DynDNS right now, but if you support these clients now, I can move my Dynamic DNS hosting over to you and save a little money each year.
